last night i tried to use my aztec airbrush for the first time in a while, and it just would not work. thinking i probably need to replace all the heads, i went through the paints and airbrush forums just to see if there was anything else i could try ( i was also wondering if my compresser was not working right) and found a thread that mentioned you can pull the needle part completly out to clean it. when i did this the insides were absolutely full of old paint, so i cleaned it all in hammerite thinners and it works good as new . armorama just saved me the price of replacing at least two of these heads ,cheers! ( i just have to de-gunk the other four)
